The State and Collister intersection reconstruction project is expected to make unsafe a large area extending in both directions on State Street for an extended period of time. It is not recommended that bus riders attempt to cross the construction area. Outbound riders who live or commute to areas west of the canal or Collister or near the Edgewater Apartments should use the stop at State and Marketplace. The inbound stop is closed, but a temporary stop is in place at State and Harbor. Riders who live near or commute to areas east of the canal or Collister or the Samaritan Village area should use the provided stops for the #10 route at Collister and Castle or, alternatively, the stops at State and Willow provided they don’t have to cross the construction zone to get to Willow. All stops in the vicinity of the construction zone, including in front of the Collister Shopping Center, will be closed for the duration of the project.

Route 16 is on detour due to construction of the Robbins Road roundabout. The detour: right on East Garrison Road and left on Collins Road back on route. The existing stop on Robbins Road is closed; a temporary stop is in place on Garrison in front of the baseball fields.
